Alois Kracher put Austrian late harvest wines, such as this affordable beauty, on the map with what many consider to be among the best sweet wines in the world. (60% welschriesling and 40% chardonnay; 115 g/l r.s. with 12% alcohol) Medium golden yellow. Bouquet of honey-drenched yellow peach, dried plum, smoky flint and grapefruit. The powerful body features juicy, ripe peach and salty mineral flavors with vibrant acidity toying with the residual sugar. Impressively vibrant wine for such an intensely botrytized vintage.
